SIBI-P1 Translation G2082-02
the more inward part
| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective; neuter, accusative, singular; comparative form of ἔσω functioning as a noun meaning an inner part. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective is a comparative form meaning "more inside" or "further inward." As neuter accusative singular used substantivally, it denotes an interior part or region, thus rendered "the more inward part" to preserve both its comparative force and substantival usage. |
